Garuda's Difficulty

yes, and like I said, the parties I've been in have the skill, and most have excellent gear as well, finally a well crafted fight should NEVER require you to have the best gear available, it should be enough to provide a challenge, not a one-sided curbstomp battle for either the players, or the boss.

No. They. Do. Not. If they did you would be winning; they aren't winning because they aren't good enough, at least as far as doing Garuda. Its not the fight its *your party*. Its okay to admit it, especially if you all are very well-geared there is really no excuse for failing outside of lacking the skill necessary. Apparently your party lacks the skill necessary, so get better and try it again another time.

You dont need the best gear possible. I'll re-iterate, I've heard of parties doing it in single-melds. Far from the best possible. I've seen a DRG do really well with minimal gear. You can't win with trash gear, but you can win with decent gear, like a full set of single-melds. AF is trash, because it doesn't do anything for your stats at all really..minus a piece or two that = a single meld. Just own up that your party doesn't have the skills to win. You're doing it wrong. Or at the very least, you're doing it right, but not well enough. Pick one, but the fault lies with the skills of your party..not Garuda.

My no-melds nor DL bard and my BLMs friends with single meld would like to have a talk with you~

Sure, I wouldn't mind a chat, especially if it finally gets me the win I've been struggling to get for the last several months. Then maybe I can pass that info along.
